This was the first perfume that i ever got, i fell in love with it at our local Foschini and was a birthday treat that year, YAY! It's such a complex scent, there are so many strong notes in there, but somehow they all blend together in perfect harmony. The EDP (oil based fragrance - lasts longer) LASTS LONG! The few squirts i use in the morning will still be there at bath time! The packaging is beautiful, the silver and red are definately strong colours that evoke passion. Without a doubt, my original favourite - i will always keep a bottle on my dresser! I highly recommend it!
